Stewardship and management

Travel into the past for a day at Prince of Wales Fort, experiencing the adventurous, diverse history of the Hudson's Bay Company and the 18th-century fur trade that founded Canada.

The Fort is a short boat shuttle across the river mouth from the community of Churchill. Explore the stone ramparts, walk amid cannons and visit the remains of the powder magazine.

In summer, polar bears awaiting the bay’s fall freeze-up wander the shorelines while the waters teem with beluga whales. Seabirds and arctic hares are common sights amid a landscape of tundra wildflowers.
